However, if I were you, what I'd actually do is stick Linux (Mint is good IMHO) on it and if needs be add some memory. If you are going to get busy with the screws, what I would do is watch the Youtube vids, make sure that you know exactly what screws go where and be careful with the bits of placcy that hold the keyboard in. This kind of thing isn't my strong point at all! my business, I was still punishing myself with a crappy, slow Acer laptop. It really isn't that difficult to pull one apart - If I can do it (and I've managed it more than once), anyone can. So, I went back with three friends to get some of this free laptop action. Other performance aspects of your system also reduce power usage. Depending on the type of display you have, it may be one of the more power-hungry parts of your system. The very last couple of screws were a different star drive size than all the others, and by the time I'd eventually been out and purchased the correct tool, time passed, I got distracted, and the Xbox is still in a pile of bits in the garage. While most laptop CPUs are already of the low-power variety, they may use even less when configured to do so.

The D250 I am typing on is such a step forward in terms of hatches on the bottom to get at stuff.I can see it going the same way my Xbox repair did. The snag is that the disk drive and RAM are in the most inaccessible place possible. I watched the youtube vid a few times before starting. It is a lot worse than that! Keyboard off, screws out, case to bits having unplugged the trackpad etc. Performance is really bad, can’t access templates like Woodworking that I used to access, can’t use some of the tools like the dimension tool properly. I haven’t been on Sketchup in a couple of years but went in today to try to put together a kitchen table. I had a look at opening it up to change the cooling fans, when we had a problem before, looks like about 3 million screws need to come out to get it all apart. It is not my computer nor my internet connection.

Why is my new acer laptop so slow
